Obama Bombs Yemen Hours After Winning Reelection

And how many innocent people in Middle East have to die before we stop bombing them? The fact that we are so willing as a nation to kill innocent people under the guise of protecting our own (gee, kinda sounds like the reason Osama's reasons for attacking us) is a travesty and it is no surprise that we have no credibility.

Why don't you ask nobel laureate Obama?
 
Here's a simple question for you. Do you support the current policy of attacking terrorists with drones, or do you not? From reading your post, and the post of others, I would assume none of you support those actions and instead you would prefer we just leave them alone.

I support it fully, it's probably the only thing I do support about the Obama administration.
 
*LOL* hey you voted him in . not me .. so live with it ..

So assuming Luna voted for him, she isn't supposed to question him on anything? If your guy had won would you have been a "Yes Man" and blindly accepted everything he did? Isn't that what a partisan hack does?
 
I'm not trying to imply that we are killing innocent people. I am merely questioning how many innocent people (collateral damage, sure, why not) do we need to kill before we stop?

I would say a good time to stop, is when terrorist attacks stop .. Seem they kill far more innocent people then we do ..

My guy wasn't voted in ... your's was .. so you have to live with what "your" elected official does. Live with the fact that you are as much to blame as he is ..

These drone attacks aren't something new, he has been doing it all along .. you have no reason to complain about them you voted for more of the same
 
However - BUT - I submit to you the realization and wonderful truth that can now be spoken.

We won't hear anymore stupid 'previous administration' crap out of his mouth.

I do NOT support it. I used to support it. But in this job I do I have learned more about the process than I ever wanted to know. It was enough to make me change my vote from Obama to Stein. I don’t believe in argument from authority and there is no way in hell I am going to share what I know, so I don’t expect or want people to accept my word on it. I am just saying how I personally feel on the subject. And there are people with the same background knowledge I have who disagree with me.

I just couldn’t look myself in the mirror if I voted for someone who kept this program in place. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I voted for Stein. But if in some bizarro world she won, I would still call her out when she was wrong. Just as I call her out now when I disagree with her on gun control.

surely you aren't talking about Obama? If you are .. I'll take bets that you haven't heard the last of it Obama is great at the blame game... . and poor on most other things

Sorry just thought you were an Obama fan… all I’m saying is this is not some new policy he created after re-election, if you knew this was his policy and voted for him, I can’t see where you have room to bitch about it.

are you implying that disagreeing with a candidate on one issue, but agreeing with them on others and voting based on those other issues, precludes someone from mentioning the issue they still disagree with the candidate about?

nope, but you need to accept it. . it was his policy before, you knew it, and he gave NO indication that it was going to change. So you accepted that as part of his policy.

well, i disagree then. i generally support obama, but you wont see me defending his views on the 2nd amendment, infact he can pry the you know what from my cold dead hands. if you see that as hypocritical that's fine, but i doubt i'm the only one who has voted for a candidate while not supporting them 100%.

You’re right we’ll just have to agree to disagree

I’m not saying you have to agree with everything. I didn’t agree with Bush’s spending policies one bit .. But I voted for him, and felt that I had no grounds to come on a public broad and bitch about it.
After all I had a choice, just as everyone does, when you know the policy that he has and you vote for that person, well …. What can I say… you … in a sense voted for that policy .. Just accept it and move on. Not saying you have to like it .. But you have no real ground to stand on being against it .... seeing you voted for it.
 
For me this is one of the biggest frustrations about our "Democracy." These immoral and illegal attacks were going to continue regardless of whether Obama or Romney got in. There should be protests in the streets over this injustice and stupidity. Do you know of any organizations that plan to raise hell over this?

Why don't you go out and burn a few American flags, that usually gets the Administrations attention. If you yell "Death to America" they'll likely capitulate. :lol:

I would imagine that the current one should be burnt

Spreading democracy the good ol way. But dont worry much will "change"

Actually the authorization for drones strikes in Yemen has to come from the Yemeni govt...

Yemen is a cesspool of crackpot terrorist factions.. Al Houthis in the north and Al Qaeda and Al Shabaab in the south. They kidnap, make bombs, try to cross into Saudi Arabia..

The people are starving, oil facilities have been sabotaged, 500 factories have closed and the country is awash in small arms.
 
Yemen/UAE/Somalia should be blown off the face of the planet, but unfortunately those groups now have Libya, Egypt, and Syria to hide out in too thanks to, you know, somebody's alleged international leadership.

Yemen has been a mess for 6 decades.... this isn't about Obama. Why not look into the realities?

Perhaps look into reading comprehension. Libya, Egypt and Syria now being host countries is the reference to Obama and that has not been going on 6 decades or 6 years. It is going on during the current watch.

And?

Do you think the US orchestrated the Arab Spring?

Yeah! Advocating genocide is how you get rid of terrorists! :roll:
 
I'm sure there are all kinds of organizations established to support Al Quaeda terrorists. If you can't find one, why don't you start one of your own? I mean, they don't have a lot of sympathizers here in the U.S. - no doubt due to nothing more than bad press - so they can use all of the friends they can get.

I know d00d! I mean, it isn't like innocent people have been killed in drone strikes.
